Keep what I have....



Or go for the Z06-style set...





I know, I know....it's my car and do what makes me happy. I'm just looking for other opinions on this. I put a set of Z06 style wheels on the C5 I had a few years ago and liked them a lot.

Whaddya think?

Both are great. For some reason the stock wheels look a little cleaner, not so busy, and easier to clean. JMO from the photos. Your choice of course. Watching them put your car together on Velocity now, and for some reason it's RED. Love the blue though.

You of all of know that they HAVE to be kept very clean and you like to drive so ... if you're willing to do the extra work on the extra spokes ... then go for it.

It's never been a question of chrome/black. I'm trying to decide between keeping my stock Z51 style or getting a set of Z06 style wheels.

And of course I'm going with the chrome....nothing looks better!

While I like the looks of the Z06 wheels, they are too busy. And take more time to clean although I've kinda developed a pattern to my washing of them after a couple washes.

I voted to keep the Z51 wheels. Cleaner, less busy look.

It's NOT a Z06 so I would stay with the Z51 wheels. They both look great.
